Great review I thought the same thing about the people being very small but I absolutely loved this movie and wished it would have shown the outside world more
-
@tetsubo57 And with more oxygen in the air and less pollution they can harvest more from theyre skin faster and in larger quantities, allowing them to grow larger. (watch daily planet discovery-tells you how a dragon fly can grow with to the size of 3feet with more oxygen.) Read prophet of yonwood it tells you that the global war caused radiation and made things mutate. but remember there arent anymore people burning fuel meaning there is, no more pollution= more oxygen
-
@tetsubo57 umm read the book and i tells you they mutated becuase of the radiation. Also the reason they dont grow is because there is not enough oxygen and without humans that would be replenished.

Let me put up a reminder here. I very much enjoyed this video review. You gave a great insight, thanks for that. Yet I have to say that this movie has been classified as Science Fiction. You are right, beetles and moths would never exist in these dimensions on planet Earth. With a Phd in theoretical physics and masters in Biology, I can definately approove that fact. And, one can not change the laws of Physics unless a human would travel into a parrallel universe.
Great insight, thanks again.

There is one exception to the smallness thing though. If the oxygen content of the atmosphere is realy high then creatures will get bigget. Right before the dinosaurs this was the case i believe and there were realy big insects walking around. I think there is a fossil of an eagle that could catch a human also from another era.
That being said the creatures that were in the movie wouldn't have worked because of the digging and moths use different means of flight then birds.

@tetsubo57 Something can be so got that it is cold. Water can be frozen to the point that it wont melt in your hand. You will survive unharmed if your are completely limp, etc.

i didnt watch the movie just read the series 4 books all great (well the 3rd one wasnt really amazing) ANYWAY i remeber reading that the people of ember are noticeably small because yeah can u imaging their weak bones without fresh milk or cheese or any calcium for 200 years? i think the director wasnt trying to show that the insects were big i think he wanted to show that the people were small so he put the impossible animals to emphasize this point or so that the comparison was obvious.

It is impossible to determine how an animal would change over the course of 200+ years.

@Johnophobia Physics style apply, regardless of how much time passes. Take a look at a rhino. How does it look? Anything like a giant mole? No. Why? Because an animal of that size *can't* look like a scaled up mole. The legs would not support the weight. Nor would it be able to burrow effectively. genetic changes may be unknown. But physics is physics regardless. And no insect can be much bigger than they are *now* for the same reason. They wouldn't be able to fly.

@tetsubo57 It would still be impossible to tell how something might change given the proper amount of time, and changes to the world its' self. I'm not talking about the movie really, just the fact that the world it's self could change to accommodate such a change in size, for many creatures, including insects.
On a side note, all this "Can't have this in OUR world" doesn't apply to this movie in the first place, the world in this movie is not "Our" world, as we know it.

@Johnophobia Unless you postulate that the laws of physic have changed, the animals in this movie are impossible. If you are saying that the laws of physics have changed, then all bets are off. And it ceases to be science-fiction and becomes fantasy like Harry Potter.

@tetsubo57 The laws of physics, and all laws like that are just theories really.

@Johnophobia No, actually they aren't. Physics will kill you whether you believe in them or not. Fire is hot, water is wet, you will harm yourself falling from a height on Earth, etc. These things will happen no matter how you may wish otherwise.
